Our hotel is dedicated to environmental sustainability and actively contributing to a healthier planet. We align our efforts with key United Nations Sustainable Development Goals such as Clean Water and Sanitation, Affordable and Clean Energy, Decent Work and Economic Growth, Responsible Consumption and Production, and Climate Action.
A Holistic Approach to Environmental Management
We have a comprehensive environmental management system that continuously seeks improvement. This system is based on the ISO 14001:2015 standards and the Green Key Criteria, ensuring that we meet the highest environmental performance standards.
Reducing Our Footprint: Every Little Effort Counts
We wholeheartedly embrace the Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle philosophy. We minimize waste generation by reducing consumption, curbing packaging waste, and encouraging suppliers to minimize or reuse packaging. We also repurpose old fabrics and linens and choose products with recycled content.
Environmental Education and Training
We believe that knowledge empowers action, and we prioritize environmental education and training for our staff. We equip them with the skills and knowledge to utilize equipment efficiently, conserve energy and water, and contribute to our sustainability efforts.
Minimizing Our Environmental Impact
We meticulously track our daily energy consumption and compare it against energy benchmarks. Our commitment to energy efficiency is evident in our extensive use of LED lighting. We have strategically implemented light sensors and timers, and replaced decorative lighting with solar-powered options. We have also established a plan for replacing older equipment with energy-efficient alternatives.
Conserving Our Most Precious Resource: Water
We are committed to reducing water consumption through a variety of measures. We have installed aerators and flow restrictors in guest rooms and public bathrooms. We constantly monitor and address any leaks, and we utilize treated municipal wastewater for irrigation.
Greening Our Spaces
Our landscaping practices prioritize sustainability. We use green waste-based fertilizers and adhere to national and European Union legislation regarding pesticides and fertilizers. We focus on native and self-growing plants, creating welcoming habitats for local biodiversity.
Promoting Sustainable Practices
We believe in leading by example and actively encourage our guests to join us in our sustainable journey. We provide safe bicycle parking, electric car charging stations, and a free shuttle bus for employees. We also offer public transportation tickets to encourage the use of eco-friendly transportation.
Empowering Guests to Make a Difference
To engage our guests in our sustainability efforts, we provide linen change cards, allowing guests to choose how often they want their linens changed. We also strive to reduce single-use plastics, offering reusable alternatives.
A Commitment to Animal Welfare
We are deeply committed to animal welfare and uphold the Five Freedoms endorsed by the World Organization for Animal Health. This means we do not use animals for staged photos or entertainment, and we refrain from selling products derived from endangered wildlife.
Responsible Procurement
We prioritize sustainable procurement, selecting suppliers and products that prioritize responsible sourcing, recyclability, and environmental friendliness. We work with companies committed to fair trade, organic, and FSC and MSC certifications.
A Sustainable Future Together
We are confident that by actively pursuing these environmental practices, we are not only contributing to a healthier planet but also creating a positive and sustainable future for ourselves and future generations. We invite you to join us on this journey!
